Springtime is here in Charleston SC. Students are on spring break, and for many families that means fun filled travel. Whether you’re leaving Charleston to head somewhere else, or you’re coming to South Carolina for a visit, there is a good chance you will drive to your destination. The helpful professionals at CAP Towing offer these car care tips you should follow before you travel.
Check The Fluids In Your Car
ENGINE OIL
Clean oil is essential to the health of your car. Engine oil lubricates all of the internal parts your car needs to operate properly. Your owners manual will tell you how often to change your engine oil and exactly what oil to use. It’s always a good idea to follow the manufacturers service schedule.
ENGINE COOLANT
The engine in your car produces a tremendous amount of heat. Your cars radiator is designed to keep your engine cool at all times. Most manufacturers recommend you change the coolant in your cars radiator every 40,000-50,000 miles. At CAP Towing we always recommend reading your owners manual. There you can find information on when to change your coolant, as well as which type of coolant to use.
AVOID TIRE RELATED PROBLEMS
CHECK YOUR TIRES
Check the tread on your tires. Inspect your tires for blisters or bulges. Lastly, make certain your tires are properly inflated. For more detailed information on your vehicles tires check out our blog post titled Tire Problems and Charleston Roadways
